Another Chapter! Let me know what you think :) Enjoy as always

Day 14

"Killed 16 people today as the group that kidnapped me start to let me help in their cruel missions. But tomorrow will be different. I'll make them bleed."

Yuki sat silent across Chrom in a confinement room. He had his legs crossed and waited for an answer. "How did you get that scar on your brand."

"You've read my diary. You should know asshole."

"Language. And no I did not read it completely." Yuki scoffed and crossed her arms.

"Not my problem."

"I see that attitude of yours is back."

"Especially for you. You seem to get the worst out of me." Chrom did not reply.

Day 15

"I don't know how, but I succeeded. I'm free again. Killing them felt great. Seeing them cry in pain as their soul left their bodies. I think I want to see it again. I want to play it over and over again."

Chrom read 'Day 15' out loud in front of Yuki. "You broke free after 15 days of torture and forced killing. Why didn't you come look for us?" Yuki ignored him.

Day 17

"I've decided to make money with killing. Easy choice actually, I've become really good at it. I can't even feel something anymore when I do it. With the money I robbed from them I bought myself a nice outfit today. Green suits me. I thought about going back to the Shepherds honestly, but I've changed. I don't think a murderer would sit well with those people. Besides it's better this way."

"That's why." Yuki replied after Chrom read some more. Her crimson eye looked at Chrom and it made him feel uneasy. "Are you scared of me?"

"No."

"You should be." Yuki closed her left eye and her special one started to emit a heavy aura. "You know I got those red eyes when I was angry?"

Day 30

"Something weird happened. That red eye of mine is not only scaring people but it seems to show terrible visions to my victims when I'm angry. I made a woman cry today when I bought some apples. I'm glad I found out what triggers it and I'm in complete control. Is this the result of balanced chi? Because it's pretty fucked up."

Chrom spat blood when Yuki held him against the wall, a sword pierced his stomach. "You stupid Exhalt." Her face changed into that of Emmeryn. "It's all your fault Chrom. You killed me."

"Stop! Stop! Please I'll do anything!" The Exhalt cried out. After he blinked, he was still on his seat across Yuki. She had closed her eye.

"And that's how it goes. I'm hating you enough to trigger it. Didn't think you would start crying immediately." She then started panting. Chrom stood up in the meantime and had grabbed her throat, lifted her and was holding her against the wall. "Killing me won't fix your problems Mr. Exhalt." She huffed. Chrom squeezed harder, tears rolling down his cheeks. Chrom froze. He was back in his chair. Yuki grinned. "You liked that one better huh."

"S-stop playing with me." Yuki narrowed her eyes.

"You've read my diary." A chill went down his spine. Yuki then suddenly she started breathing heavily.

Day 32

"This new power has drawbacks. It seems I'm not in complete control after all. I think Priam is the only one who can fix me now. But I'll never see him again.

I had fits today when I overused my power. I coughed blood and had my own created visions turned against me. I've decided to only use it in special occasions."

Chrom still hadn't moved from his chair. He couldn't. "I… don't…. want… your… pity…. Not again…" Yuki panted. She stood up again her body trembling. Chrom stood up as well.

"It's not pity." He said as he walked towards her. He wrapped her in his arms. "It's my fault you've become like this and I'm going to do anything I can to help you become happy." Yuki widened her eyes as she stood there in his arms.

"Don't toy with my feelings."

"So you still have them." He whispered into her ear.

"Tch." She pushed him away. "Stop feeling guilty for me because I traded with you. It was my own choice. I just can't understand why you still would be so nice to me when I showed you those things."

"How can I not feel guilty when I read that diary?! And I'm not nice…. It's my fault you're like this."

"What's going to happen to me." Yuki ignored his reply and sat back down on the chair again.

"Nothing. I'm keeping you here since you're a danger right now. However you're free to go back to your old room." Chrom sat down as well. "And if you behave you're allowed to join our party tomorrow."

"What you're celebrating."

"Our return to Ylisse."

"Aha. And no thanks on that room. Shouldn't your wife be sleeping there or something." Chrom stayed silent. Yuki raised her eyebrow.

"I'm not married." He eventually said, looking down.

"Are you in love then?"

"No."

"Okay, I think we talked enough. Could you please leave? I want to take a nap." Chrom looked at her in confusion.

"You're going to sleep here?"

"Yeah I'm no one special. I'm not your guest. I'm a mercenary who ignored the rules. I don't want a special treatment from you. But if you would be so kind to bring me back my cloak, I would be grateful." The Exhalt was tired and not in the mood for another discussion. Not after what happened here already.

"I'll let someone bring it. If you need something else, let me know okay?"

"Good night Chrom."

"Good night."

"Chrom, Yuki didn't touch her breakfast." Cherche reported when lunch had passed. The Exhalt sighed.

"Why can't things just go nice for once."

"Why didn't you eat your breakfast." Chrom asked when he entered the little room. "And your lunch." He added when he saw the untouched plate on the table. Yuki sat on the ground and was meditating. He walked up to her but Yuki stopped him halfway.

"Don't come any closer."

"Only if you eat."

"I'm not hungry."

"How can you not be hungry after all this time."

"I'm not feeling well."

"That's what you get if you keep sleeping in here." Chrom lectured her.

"Maybe. So what do you need from me?" Yuki replied, still not moving from her spot.

"You're a handful you know that. Do you do this on purpose?"

"Good question. Maybe I am. Give back my diary."

"I've already read it." Chrom whispered. Yuki opened her eye and looked at him.

"Well then." She stood up. "Which part did you like best?" "…." As Chrom stood there silently, Yuki sat down and started to eat.

"I'll see you tonight in the dining hall. Please behave." Chrom eventually said and left.

"Pfff of course I can behave." Yuki started at her plate with its familiar taste. "Party huh…."

That night, Yuki walked upstairs to the dining hall. Curiousity and nervousness started to creep up in her mind. What kind of party would it be? Is my outfit not a little too dirty? She opened the door to the dining hall and saw every Shepherd sitting around a round table. They all looked at her when she entered the hall. Yuki immediately noticed the flushed faces. They have been drinking already. "Phew… That makes things a lot easier." Then Priam stood up.

"Long time no see Princess." What a way to greet me, Yuki thought. He looked at her feet. "Forgot your shoes?"

"I don't have them anymore."

"Can you come with me for a second." Priam asked, his voice layered with annoyance.

"Of course."

"Sit down." Priam ordered and lowered himself to the height of her face. They seemed to be in his room. "Chrom told me everything. But what bothers me the most is that eye of yours. We need to do something about it or you're going to die. It's surprising you still haven't kicked the bucket." Yuki raised her eyebrow.

"Can you do something about it?"

"Something temporary yes. You have to do the rest yourself." He placed two fingers and her forehead and closed his eyes. Yuki felt her eye sting. And it only got worse. "Yeah this is going to hurt." Priam muttered.

"Ngh!"

"Stay still Princess." The pain channelled from her eye to her brain as something inside snapped.

"I'm…. going to scream if this gets any worse." Yuki announced, feeling liquid dripping out of her crimson eye. Priam didn't reply as his nose started to bleed. His eyebrows knitted together in a frown as he sat on his knees. Priam breathed heavily and Yuki felt the power behind her eye dividing over her whole body. "RAAAGH!" Her head fell back as the black veins disappeared and her eye only gave a dim red light. It felt like someone liberated her mind. Like she broke free from the little box she had been living in for the past year. The chair she sat on fell back as both Yuki and Priam lost their consciousness.
